So what confidence do we have that this really works, apart from these
successful initialisation messages? Has this been shown to work with
some (yet-out-of-tree) DRM patches, to produce 3D rendered output? I
wonder if we should wait with upstreaming until we can really test this
on some kind of screen.
Cheers,
